The era after the iPad came out is known as the post PC era. As a new category of product, the iPad has replaced a lot of traditional PC work. But in fact, it is the rapidly developing mobile products that replace the PC, and the sales of the iPad itself began to decline. In addition to the problems of the market itself, there are also some reasons for Apple's slow upgrade strategy for the iPad in recent years.

On November 11, when responding to the rumor of iPhone 8, analysts of Barclays Bank revealed that Apple will release a new iPad series in March next year, with a screen size of 10.9 inches and an ultra narrow frame design, and the final size may be close to the 9.7 inch iPad. This is the third rumor about the 11 inch iPad.

In addition, the new 10.9-inch iPad is not an iPad Pro series. Its positioning is corresponding to the 7.9-inch iPad mini, and its price will be higher than that of the iPad Pro series. The report also shows that the iPad mini series may not be updated early next year. As for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it is rumored that it will not change much. The most likely is the True Tone wide color gamut screen added to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
